Bactericidal Permeability-Increasing Proteins Shape Host-Microbe Interactions

Bactericidal Permeability-Increasing Proteins Shape Host-Microbe Interactions

ABSTRACT We characterized bactericidal permeability-increasing proteins (BPIs) of the squid Euprymna scolopes, EsBPI2 and EsBPI4. They have molecular characteristics typical of other animal BPIs, are closely related to one another, and nest phylogenetically among invertebrate BPIs. Purified EsBPIs h...
